Not really a building so to speak, but it's beautiful and I want to share.

>>1267787
More Lombard Romanesque.
>>1267796

>>1267771
Asturian pre-romanesque and romanesque was the shit.
>>1267801
portuguese renaissance
>>1267805
indeed
San Vitale in Ravena. Pretty interesting Byzantine style basilica. It has an octagonal plan but the narthex is in a different axis than the apse
who /brickgothic/ here?
They told me I could do anything, so I skipped the renaissance and went straight from gothic to baroque.

So clean, so pure...

Japanese Metabolism was a very curious thing. The idea behind the capsule tower was that every module could be attached and detached easily, allowing for maintenance and organic growth as needed. It's in complete disrepair now, and ironically the architect was pleading to not have it demolished, which I think is pretty contradicting with the idea of organic growth.
but what kind of buildings would allah approve of?
>>1268051
Allahu ackbar.
>>1268065
[Explodes internally]
>>1267847
You also accept brickexpressionism?
is there a sexier style than art deco?
>>1268594
>>1268507
Looks Satanic.
>>1268671
And to think, instead of that all we got was a worthless cathedral.
what about vernacular architecture?
>>1266880
Gamli refur
Hi :DDDDD

I like the architecture but I also like Welthauptstadt Germania.
>>1263490
I visited it a few times. Has one he'll of an organ and other places of worship for non-Christian faiths in the basement. The Buddhism temple, Catholic room, and a synagogue are all sizable as well.
>>1269246
Scratch that. I was thinking of the Cadet Chaple.

Japanese modernism is top-tier
>>1266895
We won't go quietly... The Legion can count on it.
>>1269489
That's sex.
>>1269489
I agree, although that's not modernist and it's by Emilio Ambasz, an Argentine architect.
Japanese are very prominent in 20th century architecture, though. Toyo Ito, Shigeru Ban, SANAA, Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, all made amazing buildings and won Pritzker prizes. Even nowadays, if you follow any architecture websites you'll see a ton of recent Japanese stuff published, and it's often really easy to tell whether it's Japanese or not just at a glance.
They do have pretty particular conditions, though. You can read about it here.

If ever one of his designs could be built, entering it would be a truly religious experience.
>>1269557
Yea, after I typed that I realized I fucked up. It is a very post-modernist idea. I recognize he's Argentinian, but it follows suit with a lot of Japanese building concepts, as you stated, so I mentally bookmark it as such.
That's a really cool article, too. The best part about Japanese home architecture is that somehow it never comes across as *too* bizarre.
>>1267783
That's just some children's fantasy book-tier shit.
Early 20th century futurism was top-notch.
>>1263952

That reminds me very much of gothic cathedrals.
>>1270390
If you had any sense for art, you'd realize that doing so is just playing with form.
>>1264001
I'd live there. That looks fucking cool.
>>1275341

>>1277208
The improved the outside, they ruined the inside.
>>1278184
>dude why did they even invent new styles of architecture after classical lol innovation is bad though if someone who doesn't masturbate to 2000 year old buildings makes something which isn't totally avant-garde they're being uncreative lmao
>>1277675
looks cool in winter, like a mountain side
>>1278207
>lmao like if you don't agree with my one specific form of modernist architecture you must hate everything that isn't classical. im such a deduction master
>>1278275
Fucking Brunelleschi
>>1263960
Why is that one building shaped like a ramp? Was this designed by the Grand Theft Auto devs?
>>1268618
No there isn't, I wish this was more prelavent in he US like it was in the 30s/40s
Why did it die off?
>>1280045
My guess would be ww2 and the counter-culture that came afterwards killing off various notions of modernism and futurism, which I think art-deco sensibilities were rooted in.
>>1275341
